talk with his physician for adjusting the BP medicine
I would suggest taking his blood pressure readings regularly for a week atleast twice a day along with his regular medications. Then see how and what needs to be done regarding his medication regimen
visit to cardiologist

16/85 BP is moderately high
you are using Valtec 80mg ( valsartin 80mg ) and Norvasc 5mg (Amlodipine 5 mg )
now you can use a single tablet a day containing both of these salts Covam 5/160mg (Amlodipine/Valsartin)
use this medicine once a day preferably in morning
and monitor the Bloop pressure daily
Thanks
